     length determined by the poet’s choice.

  repeating same pattern or meter throughout. A unit of poetic
  lines similar to a paragraph. Stanzas are separated by blank

  stanza

      septet (7), octave (8)

      Spenserian stanza
Point of View
• The vantage of the speaker or “teller.” Also called
  the poem’s “voice.” Sometimes referred to as the
  poem’s persona.
   – 1st person: the speaker is a character and speaks from
     his or her perspective (uses the “I”).
   – 3rd person limited: the speaker is not a character in
     the poem, and speaks about the other characters
     through limited perception of one other person
   – 3rd person omniscient: the speaker is not part of the
     poem but knows and describes with all characters are
     thinking.
Allusion
• An allusion is a literary device that stimulates
  ideas, associations, and extra information in
  the reader's mind with only a word or two.
  Allusion means 'reference'. It relies on the
  reader being able to understand the allusion
  and being familiar with all of the meaning
  hidden behind the words.
